You should close your eyes
When I close my eyes
The darkness starts to leave my head
I picture butterflies finding light
Picture all my dreams as answered prayers
I picture men helping women
And women for men
Just for you the world joins hands
And though you opened your eyes
When you realize
Your body's betting on your head to find the strength to stand
Someone went and rained on my parade
Why can't everything just go my way
Goin' crazy crawling out of my skin
Open your arms
I wanna fall in
Without a word you still listen
You understand
Your fingers surround my hand
We're not alone
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the scared-est of them all
Never laughed while you cried
Stood still while you ran
Looking down now look up there's hope
Why why why
I'm wondering why
All my answers turned into whys
But no one answers me
Why you why me
Who pulls the strings 'round here that make us happy
Someone went and rained on my parade
Why can't everything just go my way
Goin' crazy crawling out of my skin
Open your arms
I wanna fall in
Without a word you still listen
You understand
Goin' crazy crawling out of my skin
Open your arms
I wanna fall in
Without a word you still listen
You understand
Your fingers surround my hand
We're not alone
